After investigation by the police, it was determined that the initiator of the rumor was Liu, a senior one student in a middle school in xingning city. Last night (April 28th), the police arrested Liu at his home in xingning city, and seized the computer mainframe used by Liu to publish earthquake news on the Internet.
Why should a middle school student spread the disturbing rumor of an earthquake? It turned out that on the evening of April 25th this year, when Liu was surfing the Internet at home, he saw a false message called "2065438+June 13 earthquake occurred somewhere in Foshan, Guangdong Province" and reprinted it on his QQ space log. The next night, he changed the post location of the earthquake in Foshan, Guangdong Province to Xingning, Meizhou, and other contents remained unchanged. After revision, he posted it on my QQ space.
Liu: When I saw the Foshan earthquake, I changed it to Xingning, and the content remained unchanged. I changed the place name and published it in the space log.
What Liu didn't expect was that after the news was released, it was reprinted and circulated by his QQ friends. On the evening of the 27th, he felt that spreading information in this way would have adverse consequences, so he deleted this log in his log. However, the contents of this journal have been reprinted and published by Xingning Forum, Tiexue Community and other forums.
Liu: I didn't expect this at that time. It turns out that only QQ friends will see it and think it's fake. Published on the forum (later), once fired, more and more people know that I deleted it too late.
When the reporter asked him why he sent such news, Liu said that there was no purpose, just for fun.
Liu: Curious is funny, but naughty.
For fun, earthquake rumors were posted online. At present, the prank student has been administratively detained by the police. Faced with such a result, students also regret it. According to relevant laws, this middle school student will pay for his ignorance. See the relevant legal links:
